Informaticians, definitely. A misconfigured Makefile caused
a .cmi file referring to module Afo to survive a make clean
and not be scanned for dependencies.
Anyhow, the error message I got was quite stunning, you'll
agree. I'd call it at least a misfeature, and possibly a
bug. The compiler should have told me "Compiled interfaces
afo.cmi and foobar.cmi make inconsistent assumptions over
interface Afo".
